So you made an app? DO NOT POST IT HERE

Congratulations so did 10,000 other people who tried to post it on a reddit sports sub this week. With AI making coding easier, everyone and their mother made an app.

Its overwhelming to the sub and considered spam to post it. You will get an automatic ban for spamming.

MEGATHREAD Official R/NHL Broadcast Megathread Playoff Edition

The sub can be banned by reddit admins as other subs have been if we allow illegal streams. This isn't my decision, this is because of how reddit admins have banned other subs for being hubs of illegal streaming. I don't want the same here.

With the season about to get started, lets put all your posts about legal streams, broadcast issues, panels, commentators, etc..

This includes how to get (LEGALLY) Streams for games as well as discussions of panelists, play-by-play, graphics, commercials and other game presentation.

FYI RE BLACKOUTS: BLACKOUTS Are not based on the location of the arena.

A game is blacked out on ESPN+ because you have a channel available through your local cable package, that is airing the game.

The NHL sells their games to TV networks. The networks pay big money for the game. They do not want people avoiding watching their channel to watch ESPN+ instead.

It baffles me that people still don't get this.

If the game is blacked out (on Sportsnet+ or ESPN+), it means a different network owns those rights to the game in your area.

This is literally ALWAYS the answer as to why it is blacked out. ALWAYS.

it's been this way all across the NHL for nearly 20 years, since Chicago pulled their heads out of their ass and stopped blacking out home games locally because Wirtz was a twat.

For those of you complaining that you are in Western Canada, and the game is on TSN and you are blacked out or other similar issue, its cause you are not considered in the local market to be able to see that game and need to get Sportsnet+ or ESPN+.... that's what those services are for, watching the local broadcast when you are out of market.

Discussion When a player makes a trade request public, are they doing so to create more pressure on management or to get ahead of the narrative to save face with fans?

78 Upvotes

It’s clear players are gaining the upper hand with contracts and trade requests etc. I’m curious though because if the player wanted to help the team they would keep it quiet so the GM can find best option - they pretty well lose all leverage when it’s made public they want out. Though most teams can put two and two together the confirmation will certainly only hurt the team. Only thing I can think of them doing this (making it public) is to put more pressure on their GM or to try and own the press narrative about why they want to leave etc. what do you all think?

News Maple Leafs fans shocked, frustrated at ticket prices. This is MLSE’s response

Thumbnail thestar.com
438 Upvotes

From the story:

Frustration among Leafs fans peaked Monday after single-game tickets were put on sale for a team that finished with the fifth-worst record in the league last season. Anger over the prices was a trending topic on X on Tuesday morning.

While marquee games against teams such as the Montreal Canadiens have always been pricey, some fans were shocked as average prices for the cheapest seat in the house ranged from $150 to $270 a ticket.

Even an obstructed view seat in row 12 for a Tuesday night game in November against Utah costs $127 each.

But MLSE says their top priority remains creating access for all the fans.
